BlackNFashion With Lenese Calleea

This week I got to sit down with a phenomenal woman, fashion stylist Asma Shakar. We talked everything from fashion trends and where she got started, to her experiences being muslim as a fashion stylist and where she's currently headed. Asma is a fashion stylist who has been working in her field for the past 2 years. This year she has also started with her creative director journey. She started as a virtual stylist during the pandemic, and she is now doing more in person wardrobe styling and creative direction for photoshoots.
